Spencer Steer Exits Early With Right Wrist Injury
The Reds second baseman hurt his wrist on a foul ball swing in the fifth inning, and manager Terry Francona admitted the situation makes him nervous.
Spencer Steer left Cincinnati's 5-3 win over St. Louis after injuring his right wrist on an awkward foul ball swing in the fifth inning. A trainer visit led to his immediate removal, with Edwin Arroyo completing the plate appearance. Manager Terry Francona noted Steer did not resist coming out, calling that a worrying sign. The team plans imaging and a hand specialist consultation, raising the possibility of an IL stint for a Reds club already sitting at 49-55.
